The Directors that were present during this discussion did feel that much more consideration should be given to serve Emerald Bay, and that the Board's policy has been that this District is willing to assist in anyway to help solve the problem of sewage disposal and if we can be of any assistance to the State, we will give what assistance wecan. Mr. Moyer also stated that he did suggest alternates to serve Emerald Bay. Mr. Mott was pleased that this District had not taken a position that the deal was closed and also, that there could be alternate solutions to crossing Emerald Bay, and that this District could carry out the program of serving all State Parks. Mr. Mott stated that the Tahoe City Public Utility District may not be able to meet the deadline and has told the State to look for other alternates and that the SouthTahoe Public Utility District could provide service to the State Parks. It was mentioned that no decision could be given to Mr. Mott and that a Study Session would have to be scheduled to further discuss this.

ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING -2- January 27, 1969 Mr. Ralph Andersen congratulated the Board on the new building and conference room for meetings. Mr. Andersen also stated that he is not against the development of an Olympic Program of this area. He also mentioned that his livelihood depends on [he growth of this area; he is not in agreement with Mr. Walt Little. He stated that the Holding pond has, in thepast, been a detrement to the property owners. Most of the property owners were very pleased that the holding pond site would be landscaped and the fence would be removed. Mr. Andersen stated that many buyers of property ask what new developments will take place and when they learn that there will be a large recreation area that will create a noise and traffic problem, they will not cons[der purchasing of property in the area. Mr. Andersen stated that he doubted if any grants would be made once the true facts are known. Many of the property owners are trying to sell because they now feel that the holding pond will not be removed. Mrs. Delores We[ss stated that there are a great many property owners in this area and that same have not been mentioned at all regarding this possibility of an Olympic Recreation Area. Mrs. Weiss stated that this will bring heavy traffic problems, liter, parking problems and vandal[sm, and if this does go into a gigantic thing as expected, the property will be worthless. She mentioned that she was happy that this board is going to discuss this with the Planning Commission and U.S.F.S. before adopting a Resolution. She also stated that the owners of property should be mailed a letter stating this possibility because many of them do not receive the local paper, which many times does not carry the entire story. If the property owners are not aware of what is happening here, and do not know what is happening here, then the Officials of the District are not carrying out their job. Mr. L.W. Sanday, another property owner in the area of the Holding Pond, stated that the Holding Pond has been a definite detrement to all property owners concerned. Mr. Sandy stated that he has his life earnings tied up in his property, amounting to approximately $50,000, and he feels that something should be done about the Holding Pond Site. John C. Weidman, Attorney, asked Mr. Sanday how may property owners were affected. Mr. Sandy could not state exactly how many; however, Mrs. Weiss stated that approximately 250 lots are in this area. DAVIS-GRUNSKYAPPLICATION: Mr. Harlan E. Moyer, Engineer, presented cop[es of the revised Davis-Grunsky application to the Directors, stating that we have been able to take advantage of additional benefits that the District could not originally have. The Directors agreed to study same and to take action at the 2/6/69 regular meeting of this Board. ICE - - ENTRANCE: Mr. Russell L. Culp, General Manager, stated that he vis[ted the Tahoe Valley Post Off[ce to view the overhead heaters used to remove the [ce from their parking lot. If overhead heaters were installed at the District, it would mean the loss of one parking space, and the initial costs to install same would be approximately $2,296.00. The Directors agreed thatthe Manager will solve the ice problem. HOLDING POND FENCE: There is a clause in our agreement with the U.S.F.S. which requ[re~ the District to maintain the fence; Mr. Culp wrote to the U.S.F.S regarding this and requested that the U.S.F.S. remove that clause from contract use to emergency use only. No reply has been received. This will be discussed with the U.S.F.S. at the time the Holding Pond discuss[on regarding Olympic recreation use of same. INFILTRATION: MEYER'S AREA (U-l) : Since the pump stations and sewer installations have been completed, the wet well was beginning to fill. During the last storm there was a great amount of storm water runoff that was entering into the line. The system does not have waterproof manhole covers on it, because the waterproof manhole covers were not available until last year. The average daily flow is 1/8 mgd and during the storm the district handled 8 to 9 mgd per day. The big problem seems to be in the Angora and Sawmill Branch drainage. Approximately 95% of the manhole covers are under 1 to 1-1/2 feet of water. Mr. Culp stated that all of the pump stations were able to keep up with the flow and same was treated. /~?, ]~muz{m~ z/, l~b~ -5- najournea-- ~<egular lvleeting Mr. Harlan E. Moyer, Engineer, stated that the manhole covers should be raised to approximately 4it above ground level and 3 feet above vegetation level; the existing covers should be replaced and made water-tight covers. President Fesler stated that this Board is concerned mainly with policy and this situation should be the concern of the Engineers and the Manager. Mr. Moyer will work on this immediately - - manholes that are now involved. there are approximately 60 MEETINGS: U.S.F.S. and Planning Commission -With the Planning Commission on the 3rd or the 10th of February, and with the U.S.F.S. on Friday, January 31, 1969, - - Meetings to be confirmed.

Culp read his report, as follows: "Manager's Report, February 6, 1969: During January a total of 69 M.G. of water was processed in accordance with the quality standards and exported to Indian Creek Reservoir. The increased flow over December is due to the heavy precipitation which occurred, and the entrance of some surface runoff into the collection system. All pump stations, the plant, and export system handled, without overflow, all flows during the storm period which were as high as 9.1 mgd at times. The damming effect of snow pack on subsequent runoff from rains, pointed to some additional work which must be done on new sewer lines. These improvements are already underway. The telephone signal line alarm between Luther Pass Pump Station and the plant was inoperative for a period of ten days during the storm, which required around-the-clock inspection trips by the pump station crew at a cost, in overtime pay, in excess of $1,400.00. Drifting snow, on the access road to the station, necessitated the rental of a snowmobile for a few days in order to make the inspections. There were line stoppages reported on weekends which also required considerable overtime work. Two proposals for Federally financed research contracts were prepared and submitted to the FoW.P.C.A. (Federal Water Pollution Control Administration).

Fesler, President. PURPOSh OF THEMEETII~ : To discuss with the people who have property adjoining the District Emergency Storage Area, as to how this land is to be used in the future. Mr. Harlan E. Moyer, Engineer, stated that it is important that the people recognize the distinction between what the area was used for and what its present use will be, and .now is. ' When the holding pond was built in 1960, it was an integral part of the sewage system here at South Tahoe. Secondary treated effluent was pumped there and stored there on a continuous basis for 365 days of the year. Also, during the years between 1960 and 1967 there were times where the treatment plant capacity was exceeded and we were unable to give complete secondary treat- ment to the effluent and, therefore, the quality of the effluent suffered correspond- ingly, this, of course, caused an odor. During 1966 and 1967 the plant here has undergone an expansion and tripled its capacity. Once this District started to export effluent out of this basin and over Luther Pass into Alpine County, the use of the holding pond ceased as an effluent holding pond. After April 1, 1968, as soon as the weather permitted, and the pond dried up, the District went in and completely cleaned this pond area, all of the sludge removed and the pond was cleared to the b~re earth. In the contract with Alpine County, the District must have aoailable a 60 MG holding pond. Also, the Standards established by the State of California require that this District have available a 60 MG holding pond. In case of going into emergency a major power failure - for a day or more - rather than having the effluent Lake Tahoe, the Water Quality Control Board has required that an storage area be available. The pond is to be used only in case of an emergency, and Mr. Moyer also stated that the possibility of ever using the pond again is very remote. Mr. Moyer stated that we are confident that the problems of the property owners in the area of the emergency storage area, due to odors, have been overcome, and we are equally optomistic, Mr. Moyer stated, that it would be possible to develop the storage area into a nice landscape area to serve the area rather than as it is at this POin t. Mr. Russell L. Culp, Manager, stated that the purpose of this meeting is exploratory and we are willing to listen to any suggestions the people have re- garding this area. Possible improvements could be: a. Use as is, with no changes; (b) Remove fence and landscape area, but permit no public access, (c) Make area into a neighborhood park; (d) develop as proposed by Olympic Committee into a National Recreation and sports area. President Pro Tem Kortes asked Engineer Moyer to explain the costs. Engineer H.E. Moyer stated that the capitol investment the District has now is in excess of $250,000, which was spent in 1960. In order to prove a replacement facility, it would have to be located close to this plant, and would cost approximately between $400,000 and $600,000, not including the land. The District would need approximately 30 acres, if the location were to be moved. There is no USFS land available for this particular use within a reasonable distance from the facilities. Private lands are not available. Manager Russell L. Culp stated that many telephone calls and letters have been received, expressing the property owners opinions. Letters were received from Mr. Gordon, Mr. Tennant, Mr. and Mrs. II. Phillips, a cable from Mr.Knoap, Mrs. B Treleven, mainly all requesting the area be landscaped into a Park. Attorney Gillies stated in his letter that he owns approximately six (6) lots and requests the area to be landscaped into a park, but desires more information regarding the National Olympics. Mr. D. Phillips stated that he would like the area in question described at this time. Mr. I-I.E. Moyer pointed out the area on the map to all present. Mr. Moyer stated that the entire 39 acres will not have to be used for emergency storage area; however, if the District were to develop same into a park, the District would then use the entire 39 acres. Mr. Phillips asked what the Board thought of a park in this area. Director Kortes stated that the District does want to keep this land, and if the people want a park, the District would work with them on this possibility. Mr. Moyer stated that the District does have the legal power to operate parks and recreation facilities. Mr. Culp, Manager, stated that to develop a park in this area would not be subject to a bond issue. Mr. R. Lan~.ore asked the Board if this area has been explored for a park, and if so, what the costs would be. Mr. Robert Mason, Architect, stated that last year, preliminary plans were drawn, but costs were not discussed at that time. The District's primary function is to treat and dispose of sewage. Mr. R. Bird, resident of Sierra Meadows ~:4, stated that he lives approximately 300 feet from the storage area, and has resided there for 3 years. He stated that the fence was t to be of redwood and this is not the case, it seems to be cedar. Mr. Bird recommended that the eastern section of the area be landscaped as a park, provide a few picnic tables, no horse back riding, no basketball, baseball, football games. He stated that he hvped this decision regarding the holding pond area can be decided on before it is voted to become part of the City. Mr~ DeAtri asked what guarantee there would be that this pond would be used only at a time of emergency. Mr. Moyer stated that there would be no other reason to use this. Attorney Weidman stated that this District would request a USE PERMIT for emergency use only , rather than a term permit, flute Planning Commission would be requested to have our permit (used for emergency use only) issued as that. Mr. Sandy asked if the effluent that was sprayed over the land (sprayfields) is the same type that is now being exported over Luther Pass. Mr. Moyer, Engineer, stated that it was not - - this is a much higher treated effluent for export. The reason Alpine County requires requires this District have a IIOLDING POND availa~e is for emergency purposes only - power failures,, pump damages, etc. Mr. Sandy stated that he felt the value of his property has gone down because of the holding pond. ~.~ oL~K IVIEETING- PUBLIC MEETING EMERGENCY STORAGE AREA -3- 3/]-3/69 Director Robert Wakeman passed out brochures [o all present entitled "Wastewater Purification at Lake Tahoe", and asked those present to [urn to the last page of the brochure and asked them to read the explanation of the bottles which show different stages of treatment - from raw sewage to the final product. MR. FRED McCLARE N, Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board stated that [he idea of export is to keep nutrients and phosphates out of Lake Tahoe. The Lake in Alpine County is a beautiful Lake and export is required to protect Lake Tahoe. MRS. J. PHILLIPS asked the Board what assurance the property owners have [hat this area in the years ahead will not be used for other purposes. It was stated to Mrs. Phillips that it would be a policy decision, and this Board cannot gunrantee what takes place this evening, or at any other meeting, will continue to exist with another Board of Directors for this District. Attorney Weidman stated [hat he is certain that the E1 Dorado County Planning Commission would no[ grant a use permit unless they were aware of what the land would be used for. - Furthermore, if this area were [o be converted into a park, the Planning Commission will have to approved this.

Friday afternoon, a meeting was held with Leo L. Davis concerning payments under his contract for work in Assessment District 1967-3 and completion of this contract. Each item of uncompleted work was reviewed in detail and it was found that only about $10,000 additional money could be released. It was apparent, if the contractor is to receive any substantial additional payments [:hat he must complete his work under the contract, which would [hen permit reduction of the 10% retention, under conditions previously agreed upon. The Board met with County Supervisors and the Airport Manager for further discussions regarding sewer service to the Airport. The Board met in Study Session on Tuesday afternoon regarding the interest moratorium and return of unexpended State Loan Funds, which will be discussed further later on the agenda.

Incidental to this, the matter of inspection of house-to-sewer connections was also discussed. The Personnel Committee met on Wednesday afternoon and discussed a number of items, most of which will be the subject of further discussion at a future meeting. In order to maintain continued good communications between myself and all employees, the annual oral interviews of all plant and system employees will be conducted. I also plan to place a suggestion box in the shop and pl ant to receive suggestions for plant and system operation, and to give all employees full freedom to voice complaints, if any. All suggestions and complaints will be carefully reviewed, and all those signed will be answered. We have a good group of employees, the morale is good, and by keeping the lines of communication open, perhaps this will continue." Mr. Culp stated that a meeting was held with BSP Corporation and Bird Machine Company representatives, and quate a bit of progress has been made and felt that a satisfactory conclusion will soon be reached. Also, met with Leo L. Davis and after carefully studying the punch list, etc., it seems that an amount of $10,000 could be released.

Culp, Assistant Manager-Clerk of Board David W. Callahan, Engineer, -Harlan E. Moyer, Attorney John C. Weidman, Attorney Robert J.Hill, Robert Somdag, Jack Jensen, Dolores Weiss, John Murphy and a representative from the Tahoe Tribune. MINUTES: Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Ream, unanimously carried that the minutes of May 1, 1969, be approved as presented. ' MANAGER'S REPORT: General Manager Russell L. Culp read his report, as follows: "Manager's Report May 22, 1969 All plant inflows during April were exported to Indian Creek Reservoir, The Emergency storage area and the sprayfield were not used. All snowmelt was drained from the emergency storage area, treated, and exported. The quality of the reclaimed water continues to meet the high export standards at all times. Indian Creek Reservoir is now about 70 percent full, and contains 700 mg of reclaimed water The appearance of the lake is excellent. ' A letter of thanks and appreciation was sent to Mrs. V.A. Carriker and her Resident's Committee for their excellent work in securing a concensus of opinion concerning future plans for the emergency storage area. It is anticipated that landscaping plans for the storage area will be presented to the Board for approval on June 5th. The U.S. Information Agency completed their filming of the plant, but we have not yet seen the results. The District was represented at the California W.P.C.A. meeting in Anaheim by Earl Hardie, Murle F. Spencer, Edward E. Hegarty, and myself. There was a great deal of interest in what our District is doing, and we had an opportunity to learn how other Districts and Cities are operating. On May 6th the Banking/Insurance Committee met. The results will be reported later in the agenda. The Board met in Study Session on May 19th with Floyd Hayes, Consulting Forester, who will represent the District in settling tree damage claims on the Harootunian sprayfield lease. Directors Fesler, Wakeman, and Kortes, Engineer Moyer, and I made a trip to Washington, D.C., in connection with two research contract applications which are under review by the FWPCA, and to obtain information concerning possible federal support for Public Information and Operator Training programs. Phase I ($12,500) of the Supplemental Nitrogen Removal project has been reviewed and approved and a contract is being prepared for signature. Final, approval of Phases II and III of the Nitrogen project is dependent upon the results of Phase I, and a decision cannot be made for about 3 to 4 months. The Sludge Dewatering project has received technical approval, and is now undergoing administrative review. It is expected that the contract for this work will be signed before July 1, 1969. For Public Information programs it appears that there is considerable moral support from Federal Agencies, but little, if any, financial support. Federal funds which may become available soon for training programs do not appear to fit the District needs at this time. On May 16th, Dave Callahan and I met with Gary Chase and Bob King, of the City, and Warren Turpin and William Anderman of the E1 Dorado County Health Department, regarding inspection of sewer connections, and compliance with the January 1, 1970, deadline. The City, which makes inspections of hookups under contract with the District, reported on three items. According to their survey of the situation, there are about 1,471 residences in the City not now connected to the sewer as compared to about 4,800 existing connections. The City plans to notify all presently unconnected properties of the City Ordinance requiring connection before January 1, 1970.

AttorneyWeidman stated that the bill is still in the Assembly and has not gone to the Senate. Harlan E. Moyer stated that this District has spent $19 million dollars to complete projects from 1967 to 1969.

President Fesler stated that he was getting more and more concerned about the State getting in and connections made prior to the deadline; however, he felt now that maybe they had no intention of meeting the deadline.

Kortes President Robert Fesler welcomed all present to this meeting and introduced the Directors, Engineers, General Manager and Clerk of Board.. President RobertW. Fesler opened the hearing and requested Engineer Harlan E. Moyer to describe the areas involved in this Assessment District and details regarding the assessment of same. ENGINEER'S REPORT: Harlan E. Moyer, Engineer, stated that Assessment District 1968-1 is one of the continuing series of projects undertaken by the Utility District. The area includes property along Highway 50 and Northerly of Truckee River at Meyer's. Extends along the vicinity of the airport. Also, another portion of the Assessment District is Rolling Woods Height Subdivision. Approximately 186 parcels of land - requiring 28,500 feet of sewer pipe and a lateral connection to each property line. Natices that the property owners received, were preliminary notices based on the Engineer's estimate of cost. Today bids were opened and three bids received, Terry Construction Company Stateline, Nevada $307,340 Gene McLaughlin Construction Co. Fresno, California $266,225.00 Frontier Contractors, Fair Oaks, California $323,340.00 Engineer's Estimate $299,460.00 The low bid is below the Engineer's estimate and because of this, all assessments will be reduced to each property. Construction will start on the project two - three weeks from now and should be completed well before winter, so that sewer connections could be made in November of this year as connectionns to the sewer system must be made prior to the deadline of January 1, 1970. The total cost for project was estimated at $502,075.90 and it is now $466,366.20; total assessment will be reduced $375,336.20 by contribution of Improvement Dis trict "U- 1" Area "A" - Rolling Woods Heights Subdivision properties will be reduced from 81,124.50 to $1,060.50. Area "B" - west of Airl~ort from $11.85 per foot to $10.30 per foot~. ATTORNEY'S REPORT: Attorney Robert J. Hill stated that basically, in the event this Assessment is confirmed by this Board, this assessment would be levied and payable in cash at your option within 35 days from tonight; if the assessment is not paid in cash, and so that there will be money to pay for the construction of the Assessment District, bonds will be sold to represent the unpaid assessment of the amount not paid in cash; the assessment will be included on the (Jounty Tax Roll and spread over a period of 15 years. Each year's installment will be approximately 1/10th of the total assessment; everyone's assessment will be reduced and within 10-15 days all property owners will receive another notice stating the final amount due for their PROTEST HEARING-ADIOURNED MEETING -2- June 26, 1969 assessment. Attorney Hill stated that based on the bonds sold over the last year and one- half, he would guess the interest would now be approximately 6-3/4% or even a little higher or lower. These bonds will be sold approximately 60 days from now. If the property owner desires to let their assessment go to bond, then later decide to pay same off in full, it can then be paid off at anytime - all or part ~ however, there will be a 5% penalty charge, plus an interest payment to the next January 2nd or July 2nd, onwhatever the outstanding principal is at the time the prepayment is made. Engineer Harlan E. Moyer ex plained the method used in assessing parcels involved in this Assessment District; one lateral is included with each parcel; if the property owner desires more than one lateral - a charge of $200.00 per lateral is required. If land is divided, then the assessment has to be divided and to conform with the new assessor's parcel. Unit charges were also explained by the Engineer. President Fesler asked Engineer Harlan E. Moyer what he felt about the individuals that have houses on lots and do not feel that sewers are necessary at this time; or, an owner of a vacant lot~hat does not feel a sewer facility or system is needed, and that the septic tanks are sufficient at this time for those owners who are not wanting sewer facilities. Mr. Moyer stated that there is no guarantee a septic tank will remain satisfactory. Beyond that, in the interest of public health, sewer systems are necessary and so stated by the County Health Officer and for the protection of Lake Tahoe. The Water Quality Control Act of 1965 was placed into effect by theFederal Government. July of 1966, the Federal Conference, held here at Lake Tahoe, stated that all sewage will be exported from the Lake Tahoe Basin by 1970. The City of South Lake Tahoe does have an Ordinance in effect now that requires connection to the system. The State Law provides that if one is within the boundaries of a Utility District that has a treatment plant and export facilities, they must connect to the facilities; the law now states that in order to continue occupancy, one must have sewer systems. It is unfortunate on vacant lots; but a sewer system cannot be built for only one or two houses in an area; the line must run by all of the properties; as of 1970 - - unless properties are connected to the sewer systems, same cannot be utilized. President Fesler stated that we all do not have the complete freedom with our property here in the Tahoe Basin because the various forms of Government have taken some of our freedom away from us. WRITTEN PROTESTS: Clerk of Board Callahan stated that fifteen (15) written protests were received, representing 16 property owners, out of a total of 180 assessments. All written protests were read. ORAL PROTESTS: One gentleman asked why connections have to be made to the sewer systems and why is this Assessment District now taking place. Engineer Harlan E. Moyer stated that the State Law and Federal Government require this be done by 1970. IVY DE LULIO stated that she is being assessed for the entire frontage of her property but the line does not cover the entire property. Engineers checked into this and the line will be extended. Another visitor requested a map of the area (assessment district 1968-1) showing where the lines will be, etc., and Mr. Moyer asked him to leave his name and address with him after this meeting, and a map will be mailed to him. -~- june Zb, l~b~ Attorney Robert [. Hill asked Mr. Moyer if the costs of this Assessment District are in line with other Assessment Districts that the District has had in the past. Engineer Moyer said the costs are in line with other Districts. Also, Attorney Hill asked Mr. Moyer if the costs given here this evening, the construction portion of those costs, are based on the last bids pursuant to a public call and a public bidding. Mr. Moyer stated that this was correct. Also, Attorney Hill asked Mr. Moyer if he was familiar with all of the Assessment Sewage Projects here in Lake Tahoe, and others within the State, and this system, and the proposed system, as well as the spread of the Assessment to the various parcels of land within this District. Mr. Moyer stated "yes". Also, Mr. Hill asked Mr. Moyer if each of the parcels assessed be benefited by the completed project in an amount as great, if not greater, than the amount of the assessment. Mr. Moyer stated "yes". President Fesler closed the hearing at 9:05 P.M. Attorney Hill stated that he and the Engineer have studied the assessments and regarding the Assessment No. 173 - - the division of this parcel was made by the owner, and the mere fact that it is a driveway would not change the assessment, but in examining the assessments of all three of the parcels, we feel the total of the assessment should be lower. Total assessment for No. 173 as we are recommending, to be $152.00 for right-of-service. H.E.Moy~r, Engineer, stated that this parcel driveway is shown as a separate parcel and it did receive an assessment, and this piece of property was assessed two time s. The Board agreed the recommendations of the Attorney and Engineer are just and so agreed to accept their recommendations. Director Hegarty moved, seconded by DirectorWakeman, unanimously carried, that: RESOLUTION NO. 1294, A Resolution Overruling Protests on Resolution of Intention No. 1274 RESOLUTION NO. 1295, A Resolution Ordering Reduction of Assessments. RESOLUTION NO. 1296, A Resolution and Order Adopting Engineer's Report, Confirming the Assessment and Ordering the Work and Acquisitions, and, RESOLUTION NO. 1297, a Resolution Designating Collection Officer, be approved. In answer to Director Ream's question, Attorney Hill stated that if additional laterals are desired by the property owners, the District would have to have a written request within 30 days from tonight, then we can add it to the assessment. After that time, the lateral can still be obtained, then it would have to be paid in cash. Director Wakeman asked Mr. Moyer how long the owner had to let the District know just where they would like the lateral located. Mr. Moyer stated they would have to advise the District prior to construction. Also, Mr. Wakeman asked Mr. Moyer if the laterals were ever installed in areas where they would be of no use to the property owner, and Mr. Moyer stated that the laterals are installed where it is of the most benefit to the property owner. ORDINANCE NO. 187 -Award of Contract to Gene McLaughlin Construction Company, at unit prices in its bid. Director Hegarty moved, seconded by Director Ream, unanimously carried, that ORDINANCE NO. 187 be approved. President Fesler asked Mr. Moyer if he has had any experience with the Contractor- Gene McLaughlin.
